RAILWAY-CAR.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 395,860, dated anuary 8, 1889.

Application tiled October 22, 1888. Serial NoA 288,865. (No model.)

To all whom it 17mg/ con/cera:

Be itknown that I, GERALD PATRICK WAR- REN, residing at San Antonio, in the county of Bexar and State of Texas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Railway-Cars, of which the vfollowing is a specilication.

The object of Vmy invention is to provide a safety-compariment in passenger-cars which will afford an effect-ual protection against the attack of train-robbers; and it consist-s in utilizing the ends or vcstibules of such cars which are ordinarily used 'forwater-closifrt and wash or water-cooler room purposes.

It further consists` in constructing the outer sides of such compartments with movable sections adapted to be swung to a short distance laterally, and in arranging the several doors which close the closet and wash or water-` To permit of the easy and readymanipulation of said sections G, I provide each of themA cooler room compartmei'its in such a manner that they may be quickly operated to close the entrance to the interior of the car-body and the entrance from the platform and transform the two closets into one fortified chamber, which operation can be done by one man in one minute or less time.

vIt also consists in forming the several walls partition I), which divides the said compartments B and O from the main portion of the car, is formed a doorway, E, which leads into a short passage-way formed between it and the platform-door F.

The outer side walls of the compartments and (l are formed of movable sections G, which are hinged at their lower edges to one of the longitudinal beams ot' the car-body, and have their upper ends detachably connected with said car-body. The ends of the sections G are formed with inwardly-projecting wings or side pieces, G', which enter into the coinpartments when the sections G are closed, and which form the end walls of the projecting pocket g or extension of the safety-chamber when said sections are extended. G2 denotes a top piece formed with the side pieces, and which closes the 'top of said pocket g.

with inwardly-proj ecting curved slotted arms H, provided at their inner ends with handi holds h 7i.

of the compartment and the doors connected g therewith with a bullet-proof lining, and in providing the several walls and doors each with a series of port-holes, through which the movements of the train-robbers may be ascertained and covered by the tire-arms of the occupants.

Finally, it further consists in the peculiar arrangement and novel construction ot' parts, all of which will be hereinafter fully described in the annexed specification, and particularly pointed out in the claims, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure I is a perspective view of a portion of a passenger-car supplied withmy improvements. Fig. 2 is a horizontal section of the same on line 2 2, ig. l. Fig. 3 is a cross-section thereof, showing one of the side sections y Figs. i and 5 are detail extended outward. 4 views hereinafter referred to. Fig. 6 is a detail view of one of the movable sections G.

In the drawings, A indicates the car-body, which is provided with the usual water-closet compartment, B, and the wash or water-cooler room C in one end thereof, as shown.

In the .I denotes a set-screw passed through said slotted arms, which serves to adjust the said arms when extended or closed in. (See Fig. 4.)

I denotes the water-closet door, which in this instance is hinged in such a manner as to open outward, and K denotes the' wash or water-cooler room door, which is also arranged to open outward.

By hinging the doors in the manner stated it will be observed that when desired the door I may be swung back and close the passagedoorway E, and the door K made to close aga-inst the platform-door F, and when in such positions they may be securely bolted, and

thereby effectually close said entrances, and

thereby prevent access from the outside or from the interior of the car. Each of the walls on the inner faces of the doors are lined with bullet-proof steel or iron plates L, and in said .sides are 'formed port-holes. In placing the said port-holes they are preferably arranged five inthe end wall of the car, as at M, and tive in the partition D, as at M which are provided with metal slides m m for covering them when desired. (See Fig. 5.)

The movable sections G are provided with four port-holes, N, and with port-holes N', two in each of the side wings, G which are IOO
